I had the pleasure and honor of working with Detective Dawson's son, Sean. He is everything Detective Dawson could have hoped for and then some as both his son and a Trooper. He honors him daily in his work ethic and by treating other kindly and respectfully and is the penultimate gentleman and professional. I can only imagine Detective Dawson was the same in life and on the job as his son strives for greatness in all he does.
